Maryland gym shooting: Man in critical condition after shots fired at LA Fitness

A man has critical injuries after a fight led to a shooting inside a Glenarden, Maryland, gym on Thursday.

Glenarden Police Chief Regis Bryant said officers got a call around 8:30 p.m. about a shooting inside the LA Fitness at 9450 Ruby Lockhart Blvd. When police got there, they found a man who’d been shot several times.

He was taken to the hospital where police said he was in “critical condition.”

Bryant said the man was shot on the basketball court after an argument with another man, who fled the scene in an unidentified white vehicle. Several people saw the shooting unfold, according to Bryant.

The Prince George’s County Police Department will lead the investigation. The LA Fitness is closed until 8 a.m. Saturday, according to its website.

Some parents and voters in Prince George's County have reacted with outrage after finding out a school board member has spent essentially all of this year working for a school system in Ferguson, Missouri, while maintaining his elected office in Maryland. They were quick to point out a state law that said school board members are required to live in the district they represent, making it — in their minds — impossible for someone to hold a full-time job that requires them to work in-person halfway across the country.
